The corpus includes eight levels of character description and labeling of speech tagging system. The system of labeling is applied to the improvement of the labeling method of TIMIT, which has the layer of phonetic transcription, the layer of phoneme layer, the layer of intermittent index, the lay of stress, the layer of target, the layer of phonology, and the layer of the behavior (includes the layer of posture and the layer of movement, and the layer of miscellanea.
